Let me start by saying I am a novice.
I have been consistently specifically strength training for over 60 days, and over 90 days for general weights. As a female, I really want to target my back area, specifically lats, as I have not seen any progress there yet, though I can see it in my arms, legs, and waist.
Will mixing in training for hypertrophy give me better results? I am in a caloric deficit and count my calories and macros. Usually I carb cycle. Gonna be honest, self conscious about back fat with bra. Granted some is unavoidable with 5 lbs on your chest, but I want to do whatever I can to get better. I lost 30lbs last year, 5lbs in January, and 15lbs within last 90 days, 2 sizes down in last 45 days. I only have 2 sizes left to goal.
I really enjoy lifting, and after March I will try to lean bulk because I genuinely want to see how strong I can become. Not for competitions, but for example in last 45 days I went from starting bench press at 100lbs to now 120 in a carb restrictive diet. Progress is slow, but I am excited about learning more...I just need to know if hypertrophy training mixed in with strength training will be better for building the muscle to burn the fat off those lats.
Right now I work out 6-7 days per week, Mon and Thurs: arms and abs, Tues and Fri: legs and some abs Wed and Sun: Back and calves, Saturday: rest day or abduction/adduction with cardio.
